Stratified and stirred : monsoon freshwater in the Bay of Bengal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Submesoscale ocean dynamics and instabilities, with characteristic scales 0.1-10 kin, can play a critical role in setting the ocean's surface boundary layer thickness and associated density stratification. Submesoscale ...
Computational analysis of the biophysical controls on Southern Ocean phytoplankton ecosystem dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Southern Ocean net community productivity plays an out sized role in regulating global biogeochemical cycling and climate dynamics. The structure of spatial-temporal variability in phytoplankton ecosystem dynamics is largely ...
Storm signatures in coastal ponds and marshes over the late Holocene
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Tropical cyclones pose a growing threat to coastal populations, especially as both populations and infrastructure are increasingly concentrated along the eastern coast of the United States. This thesis seeks to characterize ...
Reconstructing atmospheric changes in monsoon regions using eolian dust
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Mineral dust is generated in continental interiors and exported by winds to ocean basins, providing a sedimentary archive which is one of the few direct indicators we have of atmospheric circulation in the past. This archive ...
